J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye(1951) is the narrative of an adolescent’s quest for identity within a defective society of adults. In the novel, Hold Caulfield, a 16-year-old boy, is expelled from Pency Prep School, after being removed form three others previously. Though his identity becomes confused for three days in New York after being removed from the school and while witnessing every kind of societal breakdown, he is ultimately healed with the help of his younger sister, Phoebe. It is narrated by a narrator, a seventeen- year-old Holden confined to a mental institution. He tells us that the definitive meaning of American’s disillusioned life is expressed as ‘phony.’ In this disfunctional society his innocence and idealistic nature causes him to become alienated and confused, and to search for his identity. Holden wants to be ‘the catcher in the rye’ to protect all innocent children from falling from the cliffs of life. However, he thinks of all children’s childhood including his own one as a time of innocence that he cannot recapture or perpetuate and thus he must begin the process of coming of age by finding his own identity in reality and beginning to accept the inevitable imperfections, corruptions and brutality of the world he inhabits.
